The Australian Plan of Voting,

The Labor party" at its late con
vention, adopted resolutions in favor of
an additional safeguard about the bal
lot-box by adopting what is known as
the Australian system of voting, a
system in use in all or nearly all the
English colonies. The New York Star
says: This plan, the labor men claim,
is the only one yet devised for securing
the absolute secrecy Of The ballot cast.
In brief, it consists in having a room
adjacent to and communicating with
the poll-room, into which the electors
are admitted M at a time; the voter
selects a ticket on which is printed the
names of the offices and the candidates
to be voted for. Thus, for illustration,
John Brown and James Robinson are
candidates, say for sheriff, Sam Smith
and Tom Jones are candidates for state
senator, and John Bull and Sam Uncles
are running for assembly. All these
names will be printed on q single
ticket, furnished at state expense, and
will read 6a fol1owa.

MEALOAN EILaTLOE

AS sample of the manner in which
justice is melted out to train wTeckers
in Mexico; we give the following from
a special to the Globe-Dsmocrat, de-
scriptive of what occurred to some
Mexicans who placed stones on a rail-
road track:
AS soon as the news was conveyed to
the Jefe Politico of the district he sent
out sqadS of Mexican gendarmeS with
instructions to bring in every man who
ever in the Wrecking. In two days
there were locked up thirty-three Mex
leans. Most of them, however, were
only brought under suspicion by the
fact that they lived in the vicinity and
were supposed to have some in
formation. The Jefe POlitico
put the screws to them,
as an American policeman would say,
and succeeded in fastening the crime
on three men. Under comparatively
recent law Of Mexico the penalty for
putting distractions on a railroad
track, or in any way meddling with
switches or rails so as to endanger
lives of passengers or trainmen, is
death. Mexican courts are not organ
lied to delay justice. As soon as the
Jefe Politico reached a conclusion he
passed sentenced. Shortly after sun
rise this morning the three Mexicans
were taken out and shot. There was
no secrecy about the execution. The
condemned men were conducted to the
place where the rock was put on the
track. stood up before an adobe wall
and a file of soldiers at ten PAGES dis
tant fred a volley at them. There
were no blank cartridges. The men
fell at the first fire. A sergeant stepped
forward to the bodies and putting his
revolver close to each head, blew out
their brains. The corpses lay for some
time on the ground as a warning
against any more train wrecking, and
were buried near the place of execu-
ton.

had a pretty hard name for kidnapping.
highway robbery and other kinds of
lawlesSnesS, but under the recent
course of the authorities it is now safe
to travel through any part OF Mexico
This recent occurrence is the only
trouble If the kind the national road
has had, and it win probably be the
last one.

ductors in his district: Whenever

POSTAL AFFAIRS.

The outrageous treatment of the pos
tai service in Kansas by the admins
tration still continues. There are Just
about one-half the number employed in
the railway mail service as there should
be. The clerks are overworked and
breaking down. The postal clerks on
the Santa Fe are compelled to stand up
and work on a terrible strain from
Kansas City, Missouri, to Pueblo, Colo
RADIO, and then are obliged to work
mail at Pueblo or at stations along the
road. The treatment of postal clerks
in Kansas by the democratic admins
tration is simply outrageous, and not
only that but inhuman. Many of the
best men, long in the service, are simply
breaking down beneath tho enormous
burden put upon them by an incompe-
tent administration which is apparently
seeking to kill off its faithful servants
and at the same time giving the public
the worst management of railway pos
tai affairs the state OF Kansas ever had.
How long this thing is going to con-
tinue, and how long the postoffice de-
partment means to ignore Kansas and
insult her people we do not know. The
people of the state will have an Oppor-
tunity to express themselves in 1888,
and it will be no uncertain expression
either, gentlemen of the departments.
State JoirII.sl.
Tue above, in the main, is correct,
but the blame lies not so much with
the administration proper as it does to
E. w. Warfeld, postal superintendent
of the Seventh district, with head
quarters located at st. Louis, as rec
concentrations have been sent to the
department by Mr.. Isbell, former chief
clerk at Kansas City, and Mr.. o. F.
Guthrie, assistant general superin-
tendent, asking for more men and more
car room. When these applications
were referred to Mr.. Warfield he re-
ported unfavorably on them, and it is
said G good authority that Mr.. Isbell's
fight for more men and more car room
was the principal cause of his removal.
What the administration should do is
to remove this man Warfield and put
such a man as Mr.. Guthrie or Mr..
Isbell in his place.

THE LANGrRY KISS.

MRS. LANaTRY has invented a kiss
that double discounts anything Of the
kind ever attempted by Emma Abbot.
AS Clanearty, her husband escapes
from his pursuers through an open
window into her room, she stands with
her back to the audience clear down
the stage, near the footlights. The hus-
band looks at her a moment and then
rushes wildly into her arms. Then both
swing around and expose their profiles
to the audience, Then they hold each
other at arms length. Then her bosom
heayes and he pants. Then her head
falls upon his breast, reclining back
ward. There is crimson blush suffus-
ing her charming face. Then he looks
down at her and she looks up at him.
Then there is a preceptible pressure
around the waist. Then he suddenly
places his lips to hers. Then she clasps
him around the head. Then there is a
soft, gurgling sound, as of water escap
ing from a kitchen sink. Then they
are, as it were, glued together. Then
all is still. Women in the audience be
come nervous. Bald-headed men are
paralyZed. Men around town have their
watches out timing them. One second,
two, three, four, five, six, seven-and
then there is an explosion, as If the
bung had blown out of a beer barrel.
1t is all over. That is the Langtry
kiss.-Ex.

his train was stopped by stones on the

happened near Celaya. In turning the

said: '1No, I'm not sure these had any

will do very well with some of the other

are now the exception, whereas they

the celebrated Challenge Feed Mills sew
errl years previous to that time. This
company is one Of the largest manufact-
uEers of geaFed wind mills, and they ship
them to every part of this country and
Canada, and to many foreign countries.
While they have manufactured thousands
of pumping wind mills, and have very
large trade in that direction, and are
steadily increasing their trade in that
line, yet they make their greatest claims
on their geared mills, and Judging from
the hundreds OF testimonials shown us
while in their Office q short time since,
from purchasers having their mills in use
continuously for the past two to twelve
years, they certainly have q mill to be
proud Of, and one that every farmer
could buy with profit.
The greatest trouble among manufact-
ufers has been to keep the face OF the
wheel squArely to the eye Of the wind,
because as soon a. power was applied to
the wheel the tendency was for the
wheel to creep, swerve or veer round
on the tower. The Challenge folks have
overcome this tendency to swerve or veer
out Of the wind, and by . simple device
patented by them their geared mills are
held squArely to the wind at all times,
IL matters not whether the wind il blow
ing i've or forty miles an hour; the mill
faces the wind under all conditions.
